Announcement. 


To  The  Trade: 

In  compiling  our  Catalogue  for  1894,  we  do  so  with  a feeling  of 
kindest  regards  for  our  patrons  and  the  trade  generally,  who  have 
honored  us  with  an  appreciation  of  the  merits  of  our  goods,  and  sus- 
tained us  with  their  favors  in  past  years. 

We  e.xpect  to  keep  this  in  full  view  as  an  INCENTIVE  for  the 
future  and  endeavor,  as  in  the  past,  to  retain  the  good  will  of  our 
patrons  through  the  trials  of  competition. 

During  the  many  years  of  our  e.xperience,  constantly  making 
essential  improvements,  we  have  in  view  the  interest  of  Architects, 
Builders,  Contractors,  and  dealers  generally,  and  will  endeavor  to 
give  the  information  as  brief  and  complete  as  possible. 

Anticipating  the  progressive  demands  of  trade  since  issuing  our 
seventh  Catalogue,  we  have  added  to  our  already  LARGE  FACTORY 
the  latest  improved  machinery,  giving  us  facilities  and  advantages  not 
possessed  by  any  other  manufacturer  of  Sheet  Metal  Goods  in  the 
United  States,  and  thus  enabling  us  to  give  our  customers  the  ben- 
efit of  the  many  new  styles  of  goods  added  to  our  already 
extensive  assortment  at  LOW  PRICES. 

Our  shipping  facilities  are  also  of  the  best,  enabling  us  to  fill  all 
orders  with  promptness  and  dispatch. 

We  feel  grateful  for  the  favors  of  the  past,  and  assuring  the 
trade  of  our  SOLE  MOTIVE  to  sustain  the  merit  and  reputation  of 
our  goods  by  maintaining  the  highest  standard  of  quality,  we  are 

Very  respectfully,

The  following  engra\  ings  show  two  styles,  “A”  and  "R”,  Roof  (jutters.  The 
hangers  are  applied  in  such  a manner  as  to  leave  no  exposed  mail  or  screw  heads, 
(as  cuts  readily  show);  therefore,  there  can  be  no  leaks  from  splitting  or  nail  holes, 
as  in  the  old-style  way  with  wood  fronts  and  wood  brackets. 

These  Gutters  are  by  far  the  best  produced,  and  are  sold  at  such  prices  that 
make  them  as  cheap  as  those  made  of  wood,  lined  with  tin.

Berger’s  Patent  Adjustable  Irons. 

Patented  October  14,  1879. 

Used  mainly  for  Slate  Roofs  and  where  it  is  undesirable  to  nail  on  Roofing. 
They  can  be  adjusted  to  any  fall  of  the  trough  desired,  as  the  holes  in  the 
circles  are  so  arranged  that  when  one  is  even  with  those  in  the  shank  for  the  bolt, 
the  next  is  part  way  over  another,  thus  giving  a fine  uniform  fall  in  the  trough. 


ADJUSTABLE  RAFTER  IRONS. 

No.  1 1 Irons  are  especially  adapted  to  Barns, 
Mills  and  Factories,  where  the  rafters  are 
exposed.  The  shank  is  nailed  to  the  side  of 
rafter,  assorting  the  4, 6\  and  9 inch  shank  to 
correspond  with  the  amount  of  fall  required. 


ADJUSTABLE  ROOF  IRONS. 

No.  12  Irons  are  made  } pitch  to  fasten  under 
the  shingles  or  slate,  and  are  easily  bent  to  more 
or  less  pitch.  The  holes  on  top  of  the  shank  are 
made  beveling,  so  the  nail  can  be  driven  at 
any  point  and  enter  the  shank. 

ADJUSTABLE  DRIVE  IRONS. 

No.  7 Irons  are  made  to  drive  square 
in  the  cornice  from  3 to  4 inches. 
The  lower  prong  forms  a brace  for  the 
upper,  and  makes  it  very  strong  and 
firm. 

No.  9 is  to  drive  with  the  pitch  of 
the  roof. 

For  crooked  eaves,  drive  and  bolt 
the  irons  to  a line. 

No.  8 Irons  are  made  to  drive 
from  3 to  6 inches  square  in  the 
cornice,  the  lower  prong  forming 
a brace  for  the  upper.  This  iron 
is  intended  for  eaves  where  the 
shingles  or  slate  project  far  over 
the  cornice. 

No.  13  drives  with  the  pitch 
of  the  roof.

The  Cheapest  and  Best  Cut=Off  Ever  Introduced.  Recommended  by  Architects, 
Builders  and  Users  Everywhere. 


The  Only  Absolute  Self=Locking,  Automatic  Cut=Off 
on  the  Market. 

Cut  shows  how  the  Cut-Off  operates.  The  handle  is  operated  by  a substan- 
tial wire  spring,  which  is  so  arranged  that  it  insures  the  bucket  remaining  where 
placed,  and  entirely  prevents  it  being  turned  by  the  down-tiow  of  water.  Should 
anything  disturb  the  handle  or  throw  it  out  of  place,  it  will  immediately  resume  its 
position  upon  being  released.  The  spring  that  controls  the  bucket  is  very  firm, 
being  made  of  the  best  spring  brass  wire,  the  most  durable  known.  They  have 
been  thoroughly  tested,  and  for  the  purpose  intended 

ARE  SUPERIOR  TO  ANY  ON  THE  MARKET.

Rules  of  Measurement 

In  Selling  Sheet  Metal  Building  Material. 

All  Iron  and  Steel  Roofing,  Siding,  Ceiling,  etc.,  except  Galvan- 
ized material,  is  painted  both  sides,  unless  otherwise  ordered. 

All  Iron  and  Steel  Roofing,  Siding  and  Ceiling,  are  sold  by  the 
square  (lOO  square  feet),  except  Corrugated  Iron,  which  is  sold  by 
the  square  or  pound,  as  preterred. 

A SQUARE  consists  of  loo  square  feet,  and  is  calculated  by  the 
following  rules  of  measurement  : 

Corrugated  (Iron  or  Steel)  and  Imitation  Brick. — The  full  width  and 
length  of  sheets,  after  being  corrugated  or  formed,  is  calculated. 

V Crimped,  Beaded,  Weather  Boards,  (Iron  or  Steel). — The  full  length  of 
sheets,  together  with  the  actual  covering  width  is  calculated. 

Standing  Seam  Steel  Roofing. — The  actual  covering  width  and  full 
length  is  calculated,  whether  the  sheets  are  connected  by  end-locks 
and  shipped  in  rolls,  or  be  separate  and  shipped  in  crates. 

Wide  Gutters  and  Valleys. — The  full  width  and  length  of  material  is 
calculated. 

Nails,  Wood  Strips,  Dry  Paint  and  Ready  Mixed  Paints,  are  sold  by  the 
pound,  gallon  or  square  (the  amount  generally  required  in  applying  a 
square).  They  are  not  included  in  the  price  quoted  on  the  Sheet  Iron 
or  Steel,  but  are  charged  as  separate  items  when  furnished. 

Ridge  Roll,  Ridge  Cap,  Corrugated  Wood  Strips,  Corner  Boards,  Panel 
Strips,  Window  and  Door  Case  Coverings,  Mouldings,  Stylings,  Have  Troughs, 
Conductor  Pipes,  Etc.,  are  sold  by  the  lineal  foot,  and  not  included  in 
prices  quoted  on  Sheet  Iron  and  Steel,  but  when  furnished  are  charged 
separately. 

WEIGHTS. 

The  weights  of  Iron  and  Steel  Sheets  before  being  painted  are  based  on  U.  S. 
Standard  Gauge  as  follows :

Rules  for  Measuring, 

After  the  Material  is  Applied  to  Building. 

Roofs.— Measure  the  length  of  the  roof,  including  the  amount  turned  up  or 
down  at  each  end  or  gable,  and  multiply  by  the  distance  from  eave  to  eavet 
including  the  material  used  in  the  ridge  seam,  and  the  material  lapped  either  down 
or  up  at  ea\'es. 

Roofs  with  Hips,  Valleys,  Dormers,  Etc. — Measure  each  section  through  the  center 
horizontally  and  multiply  by  the  length  of  the  strip  of  metal  at  the  center,  and  in 
addition  to  the  actual  surface  of  the  roof,  measure  the  length  of  hips  and  valleys  by 
one  foot  wide.  The  extra  measure  of  hips  and  valleys  is  to  compensate  for  the 
extra  labor  and  loss  of  material  in  cutting,  fitting  and  laying  same. 

Opeoings.— Make  no  deduction  for  openings,  chimneys,  stacks,  sky-light, 
dormer  window,  or  ventilator,  unless  such  openings  measure  more  than  50  sq.  ft.; 
if  more  than  50  sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  half  the  size  of  the 
opening  ; if  more  than  100  sq.  ft.,  deduct  the  full  size  of  opening. 

The  labor  to  flash  pipes  and  round  stacks,  whether  of  brick  or  iron,  is  charged 
extra. 

The  reason  for  not  deducting  otherwise  than  as  specified,  is,  that  the  waste  of 
material  and  extra  work  in  cutting  and  fitting  the  material  for  flashing  such  open- 
ings, is  equal  to,  or  greater,  than  the  value  of  the  materials  cut  out. 

Gutters  and  Valleys. — .Multiply  full  length  by  full  width  of  girt. 

Siding. — Multiply  full  length  of  each  section  by  the  height.  DEDUCTIONS. — 
Make  no  deductions  for  any  window,  door  or  other  opening,  unless  said  opening 
measures  more  than  10  sq.  ft;  if  more  than  10 sq.  ft.,  and  not  more  than  25  sq.  ft., 
deduct  one-half  of  such  openings.  If  more  than  25  sq.  ft.,  deduct  all  of  such  open- 
ings, except,  when  the  wood  casings  to  the  windows,  doors  and  other  openings 
are  to  he  covered  with  iron  or  steel  casings;  in  such  instances,  no  deductions 
for  openings  are  to  be  made,  whether  the  openings  be  more  or  less  than  10  sq.  ft. 

Gables. — To  estimate  contents  of  gables,  multiply  the  width  by  one-half  the 
height,  or  multiply  the  height  by  one-half  the  width. 

Corner  Strips.— Are  charged  extra  by  the  lineal  foot;  the  cornice  is  charged 
extra  in  all  instances,  as  the  price  varies  according  to  the  girt  of  material  used  and 
style  of  the  same. 

Eave  Troughs  and  Conductor  Pipes.  — Measure  the  entire  length  and  add  one  foot 
e.xtra  for  each  Mitre,  Shoe  or  other  angle. 

Flashings. — Measure  all  material  used  necessarily,  including  unavoidable  waste, 
except  where  no  deductions  are  authorized  for  openings. 

Ceilings.— Multiply  the  length  of  each  section  by  the  width  ; separate  mouldings, 
panel  division  strips,  stylings,  cornices  and  friezes  are  calculated  by  the  lineal  foot, 
extra  ; rosettes  and  other  ornaments  are  charged  by  the  piece  ; painting  other  than 
first  coat  is  always  charged  extra.  Make  no  deductions  for  openings' measuring 
less  than  10  sq.  ft.;  if  more  than  10  sq.  ft.,  deduct  the  full  size. 

Scaffolding. — Where  scaffolding  is  necessary,  the  customer  is  to  furnish  all 
necessary  materials  for  same  free  of  charge,  and  the  roofer  is  to  construct  the 
scaffolding  free  of  charge. 

Domes,  Spires,  Doors,  Etc. — Measure  all  material  necessarily  used,  including 
waste  ; charge  for  it  at  its  value,  together  with  cost  of  labor  applying  the  material 
at  wages  agreed  upon.

Special  Notice. 

We  invite  the  attention  of  our  patrons  to  the  information  and 
illustrations  on  the  following  pages,  relative  to  metallic  coverings, 
i.  e.,  Roofing,  Siding,  Ceiling,  etc. 

The  members  of  the  craft  who  buy  our  goods  (which  are  standard 
everywhere — a guarantee  of  excellence)  always  get  better  value  than 
by  using  something  imitative  of  ours. 

The  closest  attention  is  given  to  the  quality  and  workmanship  of 
the  material  put  into  our  products,  and  we  present  them  on  their  merits. 

In  these  days,  when  the  word  “Adulteration”  is  brought  so  much 
to  the  attention  of  the  consumer,  and  all  the  defects  come  from  goods 
made  to  sell  and  not  to  use,  it  is  a great  pleasure  to  furnish  the  goods 
which  are  known  to  have  stood  the  tests  in  the  past,  and  will  stand  in 
the  future. 

An  examination  and  comparison  will  satisfy  the  buyer  that  our 
claims  are  just,  and  our  goods  as  we  represent  them  to  be. 

All  we  ask  is  the  credit  which  is  due  the  excellence  of  our  goods, 
as  in  this  respect  alone  are  we  competitors,  and  on  this  basis  we  quote 
prices,  which  will  at  all  times  he  found  favorable.

riaterial  Used; 

Genuine  Hammered  Sheet  Steel 

- for- 

standing  SEAM  ROOFING 

Has  been  given  the  most  practical  tests,  and  it  unquestionably 
e.xcels  all  other  kinds  because  it  has  the  required  te.xture  and  softness, 
and  is  far  more  perfect  and  homogeneous  than  ordinary  steel. 

It  is  the  purest  of  metals,  practically  free  from  imperfections,  and 
the  advantages  of  using  it  are  self-evident  from  the  very  fact  of  its 
higher  ultimate  strength. 

It  is  of  paramount  importance  to  customers  that  the  very  finest 
quality  be  used.  We  therefore  adopted  GENUINE  HAMMERED  STEEL, 
which  is  the  most  durable,  most  substantial,  and  the  cheapest  when 
the  quality  is  considered. 

A roof  of  such  material  is  wind,  weather,  fire  and  lightning  proof  ; 
it  furnishes  no  food  for  fames,  is  suitable  for  all  kinds  of  buildings, 
can  be  laid  over  shingles,  lath  or  sheathing,  and  is  easily  attached  to 
any  kind  of  valley  or  gutter. 

We  furnish  HAMMERED  STEEL  SHEETS  in  the  following  con- 
structed Roofs  :

Steel  Sheets,  Painted. 

A good  Roof  is  a building’s  crown,  and  in  a permanent  building  is 
only  second  in  importance  to  a good  foundation,  as  it  is  always  on 
duty  ; therefore,  we  give  our  material  the  well  deserved  protection, 
i.  e.,  a coating,  both  sides,  of  pure  Linseed  Oil  Paint. 

For  this  purpose  the  standard  is  Iron  Oxide;  however,  it  is 
acknowledged  that  the  best  preservative  for  all  Steel  and  Iron  work  is 
genuine  Graphite  Paint  (Plumbago). 

We  fully  recommend  our  Graphite  Paint  as  a sure  protection 
against  rust  in  any  climate,  as  it  is  unaffected  by  heat  or  cold,  damp- 
ness, salt  air,  chemical  fumes  or  any  solution  known  to  chemists. 

All  our  paints  are  re-ground  in  boiled  Linseed  Oil,  and  brushes 
are  used  in  applying  the  coating  on  every  painted  sheet  of  our  material 
by  which  all  parts  of  the  sheet  are  well  and  evenly  covered,  producing 
the  required  result,  which  can  not  be  so  well  accomplished  by  any  other 
method. 

The  quality  of  our  paints,  and  our  manner  of  coating  the 
sheets  before  shipment,  are  worthy  of  consideration,  (PAINTS,  see 
pages  122  and  123.) 


Ste^l  Sheets,  Galvanized, 

Are  known  by  all  metal  workers  to  be  indispensable  for  Cornice 
and  Ornamental  work  for  all  kinds  of  buildings.  Its  durability  is 
established,  and  years  of  experience  have  demonstrated  its  practical 
use  for  Roofing  purposes.  It  is  suitable  for  any  climate  as  it  is  not 
subject  to  injury  from  natural  causes,  and  does  not  need  to  be  painted, 
as  the  galvanized  coating  gives  the  required  protection  to  the  body  of 
the  sheet. 

As  Galvanized  Sheets  may  be  soldered,  when  necessary,  it  makes 
a roof  particularly  adapted  for  flat  surfaces,  in  this  respect  having  a 
great  advantage  over  black  Steel  Sheet,  painted,  which  cannot  be 
soldered.  The  difference  in  cost  stands  in  favor  of  Galvanized  Steel.

Foundation  and  Pitch. 

.A^  the  best  foundation  tor  all  Metal  Roofs,  we  recommend  sheath- 
ing boards  put  close  together  (not  notched),  because  a better  job  can 
be  made.  Boards  need  not  necessarily  be  planed,  but  should  be  of 
equal  thickness,  particularly  when  only  a slight  pitch  can  be  had. 

On  one-fourth  pitch,  or  more,  lath  may  be  used  placed  three 
to  four  inches  apart. 

We  have  had  in  use  for  many  years  our  Patent  Simplified  Folded 
Lock  Seam  and  Old  Style  Double  Seam  on  peculiarly  shaped  roofs. 
They  have  proven  entirely  satisfactory  on  three-fourths  to  one  inch 
pitch  to  one  foot,  which  by  reason  of  their  superior  plan  of  construction 
are  suitable  for  flatter  surfaces  than  is  safe  for  any  other  style. 
We  recommend  a pitch  of  one  inch  to  one  foot  or  more.  No  dirt  will 
accumulate  on  a roof  of  a good  pitch,  and  the  cleanest  and  purest  rain 
water  may  be  gathered. 

.All  structures  should  be  such  as  to  allow  water  to  flow  off  freely 
and  to  avoid,  as  much  as  possible,  difficult  shaped  spaces  to  be  covered. 


Felting. 

Felting  should  invariably  be  used  under  Metal  Roofing,  especially 
when  applied  over  foundries,  engine  rooms,  or  where  steam,  gas  and 
vapors  come  in  contact  with  the  Roofing. 

We  recommend  its  use  under  all  Roofs,  as  during  frosty 
weather  it  prevents  dripping  when  the  frost  is  melting;  protects  the 
paint  on  the  under  side  of  Metallic  Roofs,  deadens  sound,  and  is  a non- 
conductor of  heat  and  cold,  thus  making  buildings  cooler  in  summer, 
and  warmer  in  winter.  (See  page  126.) 


Painting. 

Steel  or  Iron,  be  it  of  the  very  finest  quality,  will  rust  if  not 
protected  with  paint;  therefore,  we  recommend  that  roofing  be  well 
coated  with  best  quality  Iron  O.xide  or  Graphite  ground  in  pure  Lin- 
seed Oil,  as  soon  as  applied  on  building.  Another  coat  should  be 
applied  after  a period  of  a year,  and  thereafter  at  intervals  of  three  to 
four  years,  as  may  be  found  necessary. 

If  these  instructions  are  followed,  a Metal  Roof  will  last  an  ordinary 
lifetime.

Compared  with  Shingles. 

Shingles  are  made  of  such  timber  that  cannot  be  used  in  more 
valuable  building  material.  They  are  short-lived,  and  neither  fire  nor 
weather  proof. 

The  greatest  number  of  fires  originate  on  the  roofs,  which  places 
insurance  at  a very  high  rate;  therefore,  shingles  are  dangerous  and 
fast  growing  in  disfavor. 

Steel  and  iron  covering  is  fire-proof,  and  a perfect  protection 
from  the  elements. 


Compared  with  Slate. 

Slate  Roofing  requires  a steep  pitch  and  a heavy,  expensive 
structure,  to  support  the  great  weight,  which  is  almost  seven  times  as 
heavy  as  Steel  Roofing. 

It  will  break  from  freezing  and  thawing,  or  from  heat  of  adjacent 
fires  ; costs  twice  as  much  and  is  more  expensive  to  keep  in  repair ; 
also,  the  rule  of  measurement  is  always  greater.  Slate  often  causes 
buildings  to  settle  out  of  shape. 

J8@“  Steel  can  be  applied  faster  and  on  a cheaper  surface. 

Compared  with  Tin. 

Tin  Roofing  Plates  are  not  solid  tin  sheets,  but  Steel  or  Iron  is  the 
base,  the  tin  or  lead  being  only  a coating. 

Nine-tenths  of  the  plates  now  used  are  made  light,  cheap  and 
inferior,  to  compete  in  price  with  Steel  Roofing,  which  is  fast  taking  the 
lead. 

Tin  Roofs  contain  from  eight  to  ten  times  more  cross-seams,  which 
are  soldered,  and  as  solder  is  a weaker  material  than  tin,  the  joints  will 
break  open  from  contraction  and  expansion  and  other  natural  causes. 

tteg“Our  Steel  joints  are  fewer,  stronger,  and  being  very  elastic 
are  fully  equal  to  the  demands  of  contraction  and  expansion. 

A First=CIass  Metal  Roof  will  give  more  satisfaction 
than  any  other  known  material.

Li^htnin^. 

It  is  an  absolute  fact  that  lightning  has  never  been  known  to 
injure  a building  covered  with  steel  or  iron.  The  large  surface  of  fhe 
metal  scatters  the  electricity  and  renders  it  harmless. 

Mr.  Merriman  says  : “ Few  persons  realize  the  protection  afforded 
during  violent  thunder  storms  by  shelter  in  a building  covered  with 
steel  or  iron.” 


Insurance. 

Metallic  covered  buildings  reduce  the  rate  of  insurance  fully  one- 
third  as  a rule,  and  in  towns  poorly  provided  with  fire  apparatus,  as 
much  as  one-half.  Underwriters  advocate  strongly  the  general  use  of 
metal  coverings. 


Cost  of  Labor, 

In  applying  Roofing,  varies  from  twenty  to  fifty  cents  per  square, 
owing  to  the  size  and  pitch  of  roof . On  an  ordinary  pitched  roof  one 
man  can  lay  from  ten  to  twelve  squares  per  day,  so  you  will  readily  be 
able  to  make  estimate  on  such  work ; but  as  wages  in  different 
localities  vary,  use  your  own  judgment  as  to  the  actual  cost. 


Agencies. 

An  agent  for  our  goods  means  simply  a customer  for  his  place  and 
vicinity  ; all  inquiries  are  referred  to  him  ; he  buys  the  goods  from  us 
when  wanted  and  makes  his  own  selling  price  to  consumers. 

Where  we  have  no  regular  customer  we  sell  direct  to  consumers. 
We  furnish  no  goods  on  commission.

A Roof  constructed  of  our  STEEL  and  PATENT  PLAN  cannot 
get  out  of  order,  as  our  caps  are  made  from  and  a part  of  the  sheet  and 
securely  locked  to  the  cleat  (doing  away  with  separate  caps,  rivets, 
exposed  cleats,  etc.)  making  it  impossible  to  come  loose  or  blow  off  as

BERGER’S 


Eclipse  Cap  Seam  Roofing. 


The  advantage  this  roof  has  over  all  other  separate  Cap  Seam 
Roofing  is  that  the  cap  is  hooked  to  the  anchor  or  cleat  which  holds  it 
firmly  to  the  standing  seam. 

The  construction  is  simple,  and  it  is  the  most  easily  and  rapidly 
laid  separate  Cap  Roofing  on  the  market.

Pressed  Standing:  Seam  Roofing 


Is  a self  capping  standing  seam,  very  simple  in  its  application  and 
effective  in  its  construction.  The  sheets  are  formed  with  a cap  on 
each  side,  which  makes  a stronger,  better  roof  than  when  separate 
caps  are  used. 

We  recommend  it  for  steep  roofs,  as  there  are  no  edges  to  be 
turned  up,  but  it  may  be  used  on  any  pitch  roof,  and  laid  over  sheath- 
ing, shingles  or  lath.

“A"  represents  Sheet  as  shipped.  "B"  explains  method  of  application.  "C”  shows  finished  seam. 

One  square  consists  of  sheets  24x96  inches,  or  equivalent 
(including  cleats),  and  will  lay  one  square  less  the  lock  or  lap  at  end 
of  sheets. 

It  is  easy  to  fit  any  space,  as  the  sheets  may  be  spliced  by  turning 
and  locking  ends  together.  All  pieces  may  be  used  and  no  waste 
occurs.

Pressed  Corrugated  Iron, 

-FOR- 

SIDING,  CEILING,  DOORS,  SHUTTERS, 
AWNINGS,  ETC. 


Made  of  Black,  Painted  and  Galvanized  Iron. 


Corrugated  is  the  strongest  known  form  of  Sheet  Metal,  and 
imparts  materia!  strength  by  its  lineal  rigidity  to  the  structure  to  which 
it  is  attached. 

Its  legitimate  use  is  for  Siding.  It  is  the  best  material  known  for 
use  on  structures  of  moderate  cost,  that  are  intended  to  be  fire-proof. 

The  rigidity  imparted  to  comparatively  light  sheets  by  corrugating 
makes  them  self-supporting,  thereby  permitting  their  use  on  light, 
inexpensive  framing,  the  result  being  a substantial  building,  with  a 
handsome  architectural  appearance. 

We  Recommend  Corrugated  Iron  especially  for  siding,  ceiling  and 
partitions  for  fire-proof  buildings,  and  it  is  only  necessary  to  suggest 
the  advantage  of  using  this  materia!  for  such  protection. 

For  Roofing,  we  advise  the  use  of  our  Berger’s  Patent  Lock=Seam  Steel 
Roofing,  because  the  joints  in  Corrugated  Iron  are  simply  laps,  and  a 
casual  examination  will  show  that,  except  on  steep  roofs,  the  lap  joints 
will  prove  defective  and  liable  to  leak  in  driving  storms.  This  Criticism 
on  Corrugated  Iron  for  roofing  applies  to  all  corrugated  sheets  by 
whomsoever  manufactured. 

Our  Machinery  for  corrugating  is  the  latest  improved.  It  presses  the 
iron,  making  one  impression  at  a time,  forming  the  corrugates  true  and 
even,  giving  superior  strength,  making  laps  fit  perfectly  tight,  which 
cannot  be  done  with  Corrugated  Iron  made  on  cylinder  rolls,  used  by 
most  all  the  manufacturers. 

Note. — All  of  our  Corrugated  Iron  measures  24  inches  from  center 
to  center  of  last  corrugations. 


The  Berger  Manufacturing  Co.,  Canton,  Ohio. 


83 


How  to  Estimate  Amount  and  Cost  of  Corrugated  Iron. 

First  select  the  best  lengths  of  sheets  to  tit  the  space,  hearing  in 
mind  the  end  laps.  On  Siding  one  inch  lap  will  do,  while  for  Roofing 
nothing  less  than  three  inches,  and  if  a slight  pitch,  si.x  inches,  for  end 
lap.  As  each  sheet  lays  just  two  feet  wide,  it  is  a simple  matter  to 
ascertain  the  number  of  sheets  necessary  to  cover  the  space.  Then 
estimate  the  number  of  feet  in  our  two  and  one-half  (2>^)  and  three 
(3)  inch  sheets,  as  follows  : 

6 feet  long,  13  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

7 feet  long,  i5,t  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  w'ide. 

8 feet  long,  17,’;  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

9 feet  long,  iqf  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  wide. 

10  feet  long,  21, f sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  26  in.  w'ide. 

On  lyf  inch  or  small  Corrugate  Sheet,  figure  as  follows  : 

6 feet  long,  12]  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25  in.  wide. 

7 feet  long,  iqf.-  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25  in.  wide. 

8 feet  long,  165  sq.  feet,  lay  2 feet  wide,  selling  measure  25  in.  wide. 

When  necessary  we  can  cut  sheets  in  the  middle  and  give  half 
sheets  of  any  of  the  above  lengths.  When  we  cut  to  odd  inches,  say 
7 feet  9 inches,  we  charge  for  an  8 foot  sheet,  unless  we  have  two  or 
three  weeks  in  which  to  fill  order,  so  as  to  have  the  sheets  made  odd 
sizes. 

We  always  ship  No.  28  Gauge,  8 foot  sheets,  when  not  otherwise 
specified  in  order. 

As  no  allowance  is  made  for  laps,  the  following  table  gives  the 
number  of  square  feet  necessary  to  cover  one  square  (100  sq.  ft.)  of 
surface,  providing  there  is  no  waste  in  cutting. 

These  tables  are  based  on  using  96  inch  sheets ; if  longer  or 
shorter  lengths  are  used  there  will  be  a slight  variation  from  the  follow- 
ing estimate.

Instructions  for  Applying 

CORRUGATED  IRON  SIDING. 

Commence  at  left  hand  corner  in  applying  the  courses  from  Base 
to  Cornice,  giving  sheets  from  i to  2 inches  lap  at  end,  and  one  corru- 
gation lap  at  side.  Nail  side  laps  every  6 inches  and  end  laps  in  every 
other  corrugation  in  234  inch  corrugations,  and  every  third  corrugation 
in  iX  corrugations,  driving  nails  as  shown  in 


Care  should  be  taken  that  the  iron  is  kept  a few  inches  from 
the  ground.  We  usually  use  a base  board  6 to  12  inches  wide,  partially 
covered  with  plain  iron  for  base,  with  flange  of  2 inches  to  go  up  under 
the  corrugated  iron,  and  corners  can  be  filled  up  with  Iron  Roll,  as 
shown  in 

If  Siding  is  put  on  stud- 
ding, care  should  be  taken 
to  have  the  studding  same 
distance  between  centers  as 
the  width  of  iron  used,  and 
pieces  of  wood  will  have  to 
be  put  in  between  studding 
at  end  of  sheets  to  nail  to, 
or  end  laps  can  be  riveted. 
If  Posts  are  used.  Girts  can 
be  placed  2 to  8 feet  apart, 
and  side  laps  riveted  about 
every  12  inches.

For  Roofing, 

Three  to  si.\  inches,  according  to  pitch,  sliould  be  used  for  end  lap, 
and  one  and  one-half  corrugates  for  side  lap,  as  shown  in  Fig.  21.  Ob- 
serve tliat  the  left  edge  curves  downward  and  the  right  hand  edge 
curves  upward,  when  made  special  for  one  and  one-half  corrugations 
for  side  lap.  Two  corrugates  are  sometimes  used  for  side  lap,  but  are 
no  better  than  one  and  one-half. 


Fig.  21. 


Corrugated  Iron  Roofing. 

Corrugated  Iron  is  used  for  roofing  some  kinds  of  buildings, 
though  for  roofing,  we  advise  the  use  of  Berger’s  Patent  Folded  Lock. 
Seam  Steel  Roofing,  e.xcept  where  heavy  gauges  are  wanted,  as  the 
joints  in  corrugated  iron  are  simply  laps,  and  liable  to  leak,  unless  a 
good  end  lap  and  one  and  one-half  or  two  corrugates  are  used  for 
side  lap. 


Pitch  of  Roof. 

We  would  not  advise  the  use  of  Corrugated  Iron  on  any  roof  of  less 
pitch  than  three  inches  to  the  foot,  and  more  is  better. 

Truss  roofs  should  have  pitch  of  one-fifth  to  one-fourth. 


Distance  Between  Supports  on  Roof. 

For  Corrugated  Iron  Roofing,  No.  26  Gauge  and  lighter  had  better 
be  laid  on  close  boarding,  or  strong  lath  not  more  than  i to  2 feet  apart. 
No.  24  can  be  used  on  purlins  2 to  4 feet  from  centers. 

No.  20  to  22  can  be  used  on  purlins  4 to  5 feet  from  centers. 

No.  18  can  be  used  on  purlins  6 to  7 feet  from  centers. 

No.  16  can  be  used  on  purlins  7 to  9 feet  from  centers.

Place  this  sheet  (Fig.  25)  in  position  around  the  chimney,  and  in  laying  the 
corrugated  sheet  leave  about  six  inches  above  the  upper  side  of  the  chimney  for 
water  channel,  allowing  the  plain  sheet  to  run  up  under  the  corrugated  sheet  about 
12  inches.  Form  corner  pieces  of  iron  to  fill  around  the  corners  of  chimney  left 
open  ; fill  with  our  cement  and  then  counter-flash  over  the  flanges,  allowing  the 
flashing  at  lower  side  of  chimney  to  project  over  the  corrugated  sheet  not  less  than 
six  inches,  as  shown  in  Fig.  26.

Rock=Face  Brick  and  Stone  Siding. 


Made  of  Sheet  Steel.  Painted  or  Galvanized,  and  Copper. 


ARTISTIC!  DURABLE!  CHEAP! 


Entirely  new  in  Sheet  Metal  Siding,  lately  placed  on 
the  market  by  our  company.  Imitates  Rock-Face  Stone 
and  Brick  to  perfection.  On  a building  the  counterpart  of 
a finely  finished  Rock-Face  Stone  or  Brick,  making  the 
most  attractive  and  handsomest  sheet  metal  covering  yet 
produced,  or  offered  the  building  trade. 

It  makes  an  elegant  facing  for  store  fronts  and  will 
certainly  take  the  place  of  the  old  galvanized  iron  fronts, 
because  it  is  cheaper,  makes  a handsomer  front  and  is  more 
easily  applied. 

Architects,  Builders  and  Contractors 

will  readily  see  the  advantage  of  using  these  patterns  for 
side  coverings  on  all  buildings  in  preference  to  the  old 
style  Corrugated,  Beaded  an^f  other  metal  Sidings.  Used 
extensively  for  side  covering  on  Business  Blocks,  Dwell- 
ings, School  Houses,  Court  Houses,  Auditoriums,  Opera 
Houses,  Factories,  etc.

DIRECTIONS  FOR 

Putting  on  Steel  Brick  Siding 

Over  Wood  Sheathing. 


ist.  With  spirit  level  and  chalk  line  get  the  level  of  your  building  entirely 
around  its  base  or  top  and  strike  a line  corresponding  thereto. 

2nd.  Place  a full  sheet  of  siding  at  one  corner  of  the  building,  allowing  the 
end  to  extend  two  or  more  feet  past  the  corner  so  that  the  cross  grooves  are 
immediately  over  the  corner,  the  lower  edge  of  the  sheet  resting  on  the  chalk 
line. 

3rd.  Nail  the  sheet  fast  to  the  wall  through  the  grooves  sufficiently  to  hold 
it  fast  and  to  bring  it  down  solid  all  the  way  along.  Begin  at  the  middle  of  the 
sheet  to  nail  and  work  towards  ends  and  sides,  putting  nails  two  or  three  bricks 
apart.  Never  nail  through  the  brick. 

4th.  Bend  the  projecting  two  feet  around  the  corner  (if  projects)  with  the 
hands  or  with  a piece  of  board,  using  a mallet  slightly  to  bring  down  any 
uneven  places. 

5th.  Lay  around  the  building  until  you  meet  the  commencement.  Place 
the  first  sheet  of  the  second  tier  over  the  first  so  as  to  break  joints  perfectly  as 
in  brick  work,  letting  the  half  groove  at  the  bottom  of  the  sheet  lap  over  the 
first  and  fit  closely  in  the  half  groove  at  the  top  of  the  first  sheet. 

6th.  Window  and  door  frames  should  not  be  put  in  until  after  the  siding 
is  on.  But  in  case  the  frames  are  in,  the  Steel  Siding  may  be  applied  and  faced 
at  doors  and  windows  the  same  as  for  wood  siding. 

7th.  At  windows  or  doors  cut  the  sheets  about  three  inches  above  the 
bottom  sill,  and  the  same  distance  from  the  side  ; then  cut  from  the  corner  thus 
formed  obliquely  to  the  corner  of  the  window  or  door  space,  bend  the  steel  with 
the  hands  down  upon  the  window  sill  and  around  the  side  of  the  studding,  and 
nail  it  fast.  The  window  frames  fit  in  over  these  laps  and  show  a complete 
brick  finish. 


Nails. 


The  best  nails  to  use  are  i barbed  roofing  nails,  or  three-penny  common 
wire  nails,  either  of  which  may  be  readily  driven  through  the  grooves  without 
the  use  of  a punch.  Alw'ays  use  a nail-set  to  drive  nail  home.  It  requires 
about  I of  a pound  of  these  nails  to  a square  of  Siding.  In  case  purchasers  of  our 
Siding  cannot  obtain  suitable  nails  in  their  own  towns,  we  will  furnish  them  at  a 
reasonable  price.

BERGER’S

>((:  >1^  THE  BEST, 

Lightest  and  Strongest 

COMPOSITION  ROOF 

IN  USE. 

Adapted  to  Either  Flat  or 
Steep  Roofs. 


For  a Cheap  Roof  this  is  the  Best  of  the  Kind. 


This  Roofing  is  prepared  by  cementing  together  two  or  three  thicknesses  of 
best  Tarred  Roofing  Felt,  and  then  pressed  between  heavy  Calender  Rolls,  making 
a strong,  thick  fabric.  After  being  thoroughly  nailed  with  tin  caps,  this  Roofing  is 
covered  with  asbestos,  or  slate  roofing  cement,  making  a cheap,  durable  and 
lasting  roof,  both  Water  and  Fire-Proof.  This  Roofing  is  adaptable  for  both  flat  and 
steep  roofs,  and  not  affected  by  gases  or  vapors  from  coal  or  steam. 

Imperial  Prepared  Roofing  is  equal,  if  not  superior,  to  any  prepared  Roofing  in 
the  market.

Roof  Lining  Papers. 


We  Keep  in  Stock  Three  Kinds=“W.  B.  Water=Proof  Sheathing 
Paper,  Dry  Red  Rosin  Sized  and  Tarred  Slaters’  Felt. 


We  recommend  the  use  of  Lining  Paper  under  all  roofs,  whether  Steel,  Iron, 
Slate  or  Shingles,  as  it  is  non-conductor  of  heat  and  cold,  and  makes  building 
cooler  in  summer,  and  warmer  in  winter.  Also  prevents  condensation  and  damp- 
ness, and  deadens  sound. 


W.  B.  WATER=PROOF  5HEATHINQ. 

For  Durability,  Cost  and  Covering  Capacity,  is  the  Cheapest  Water=Proof 

Paper  in  the  Market. 

Made  from  the  best  Manila  stock  and  saturated  with  a Patent  Water-Proof 
Compound.  Is  the  best  Water-Proof  Sheathing  made,  and  the  only  Sheathing  that 
will  stand  when  exposed  to  dampness.  It  can  be  used  under  Slate,  Tin,  Iron, 
Shingles,  Floors  and  all  kinds  of  Lining  or  Siding,  and  can  be  painted,  white- 
washed or  covered  with  other  paper. 

It  can  be  used  in  all  places  instead  of  Tarred  Felt;  is  much  more  durable,  and 
clean  and  free  from  unpleasant  odor. 

Please  notice  that  other  Water-Proof  Papers  are  merely  sized,  or  coated  on  the 
outside,  and  that  every  fibre  of  this  paper  is  thoroughly  saturated  with  a Water- 
Proof  Mixture.

Doors  and  Shutters. 


Fig-  55- 

The  body  of  these  is  made  of  two  thicknesses  of  wood  and 
covered  each  side  with  our  Beaded  Iron,  which  projects  an  inch  at  top 
and  sides  of  shutter,  and  is  riveted  every  three  inches.  The  experience 
of  the  past  few  years  has  demonstrated  to  a certainty  that  Shutters 
and  Doors  constructed  in  this  manner  have  stood  the  test  of  extreme 
heat  much  better  than  solid  iron. 

We  will  quote  special  prices  on  Doors  and  Shutters,  if  parties 
wanting  them  will  state  size  and  number  wanted.
